Dance » Igra | 39 Zašto ste odlučili da bacite novo svetlo na klasiku kao što je Labudovo jezero? – Dugo sam tražio novu celovečernju produkciju za Gotje dens. Novi, savremeni pogled na Labudovo jezero izgledao je kao dobra ideja. To je balet koji nudi dirljivu, duboko emotivnu priču. Komad koji je gotovo u potpunosti smešten u režim bajke – ali umesto da ljubavnici žive srecno do kraja života, završite sa dramatičnom, tužnom scenom u kojoj princ umire. Međutim, što sam više razmišljao o Labudovom jezeru, to sam bolje shvatao – ovaj klasik nudi toliko uglova, nema šanse da se odlučim za jednog koreografa. Jeste li bili iznenađeni onim što su koreografi ponudili? – Kao umetnički direktor naučio sam da očekujem neočekivano. Veoma sam otvoren za nove ideje, za novi pristup. Ali moram priznati: sigurno nisamočekivao da ce četiri komada biti toliko različita. Svaki je karakterističan za svog autora, svaki koristi drugačiji plesni jezik – to zaista sve ovo čini veoma posebnim iskustvom. Da li bi Čajkovski bio iznenađen? – To je intrigantno pitanje! Nadam se da bi mu se svidelo. Na kraju krajeva, on je bio veoma složen lik i moderan kompozitor po merilima svog vremena. Četiri koreografamu svakako iskazuju veliko poštovanje u svojimkomadima. Njegovamuzika je deo svih kompozicija iz ovih adaptacija i imamnogo skrivenih referenci. Šta ce nam ove savremene verzije otkriti i ponuditi? – Labudovo jezeronudi toliko uglova, toliko različitih pristupa… Predodređeno je da ga interpretira i reinterpretira svaka nova generacija koreografa. Priča je mit, otvorenost je deo njenog DNK. Uvek ce biti šta da se istraži i otkrije. Uvek će biti nečega što niko ranije nije video. Why did you decide to shed new light on such a classic as Swan Lake? - I had been looking for a new full-length evening production for Gauthier Dance for quite some time. A newmodern take on Swan Lake seemed like a good idea. It is a ballet that offers a touching, deeply emotional story. A piece that is almost completely set in a fairy tale mode – but instead of the lovers living happily ever after, you end up with this dramatic, sad scene where the prince dies.Themore I thought about Swan Lake, though, the more I realised: this classic piece offers so many angles – I can’t possibly decide on a single choreographer. Were you surprised by what the choreographers offered? - As the artistic director of Gauthier Dance, I have learnt to expect the unexpected. I am very open to new ideas, to a new approach. But I must admit that I certainly didn’t expect the four pieces to be that different. Each is so characteristic of its creator; each uses such a different dance language – it really makes Swan Lakes a very special dance experience. Would Tchaikovsky be surprised? - That’s an intriguing question! I hope he would have liked it. After all, he was a very complex character and a modern composer by the standards of his time. The four choreographers certainly show him a lot of respect in their pieces. His music is part of all Swan Lakes compositions, there are a lot of hidden references. What will contemporary versions reveal and offer? - Swan Lake offers somany angles, invites somany different approaches – it is destined to be interpreted and re-interpreted by every new generation of choreographers. The story is a myth, openness is part of its DNA. There will always be something to explore and to discover what no one else has seen before.
